with a week-long series of activities that were topped off with the Alumni Awards
Evening, crowning of the king and queen, and football.
Craig Huss, retired vice president with the agricultural firm Archer Daniels
Midland, was honored with the Alumnus of the Year Award. The Decatur, Ill., native
was recruited to attend Southeastern on a basketball scholarship, earning his bachelor's
degree in business administration in 1974 and an MBA two years later. While at Southeastern
he earned four-year letterman status as a forward and center and served as a graduate

Huss worked 37 years with ADM, starting as a grain elevator manager before being
named to his first vice presidential position in 1997. In 2011 until his retirement
in January, he was senior vice president, chief risk officer and a member of ADM's
Executive Committee.
While here, Huss met with students and faculty in the College of Business and
served as Grand Marshal of the Homecoming parade.
Also recognized at the event was James "Jay" Prather III of Ponchatoula, a 2005
graduate with a degree in biology. He was a founding partner of an environmental consulting
firm, now called ELOS Environmental in Hammond. The company provides consulting services
covering numerous sectors of the environmental industry.

President's Loyal Lion Award – Mayson Foster, outgoing mayor of the city of Hammond;
Director's Diamond Award – David Danel of Hammond, former Alumni Association president
and board member, who helped build the Alumni Center;
L.E. Chandler Award – Brendan Daigle, Multicultural and International Affairs and

Southeast Louisiana Review issue features range of topics, short story
The newest issue of the Southeast Louisiana Review has been released featuring studies on antebellum education in the Florida parishes,
the working lives of the Washington Parish African American community members from
1920-1940, and the presence of Native Americans in the Florida Parishes.
The Review, a cultural and historically oriented publication by the Center for Southeast Louisiana
Studies at Southeastern, also contains a short story by novelist Dayne Sherman.
"This particular issue celebrates specific aspects of the rich cultural diversity
that characterizes our region," said Samuel C. Hyde Jr., managing editor and director
of the Center for Southeast Louisiana Studies.
The publication costs $10 and can be ordered by calling the Center at 549-2151
or by email to selahistory@southeastern.edu.
In an article titled "Antebellum Education in Louisiana's Florida Parishes,"
Sarah Hyde, assistant professor at River Parishes Community College, counters a long-held
contention that formal education in the South received little emphasis in the pre-Civil
War era. Her research reveals that in the antebellum Florida Parishes, the education
of children was a foremost consideration for parents and policy makers, whether it
was home-based or in more traditional school settings.
In the article, "Prosperity and Peril in the Piney Woods: An Analysis of Washington
Parish's African American Community, 1920-1940, historian Reginald Spann notes that
black residents of the region did not enjoy opportunities for an education – even
into the 20th Century. Even so, Spann's research in Washington Parish indicates black
residents learned to advance themselves both socially and economically. While relying
on census data and other primary sources, the study suggests that, with the exception
of voting, black residents advanced their condition in every sense.
Also in the publication, teacher and amateur archaeologist Jason Glenn Thompson
presents a hands-on explanation of the Florida Parishes' first inhabitation by various
tribes of Native Americans that lived in the area for thousands of years. Thompson
documents the sites he personally visited and includes maps and photographs of his
findings.
The Review also includes the short story "Witness: A Louisiana Short Story" by
Sherman, placed in the author's imaginary Louisiana locale, Baxter Parish. Sherman
is a reference librarian at Southeastern and has recently published his second novel,
"Zion."

Southeastern Guitar Quartet to perform October 21
The Southeastern Guitar Quartet will perform a diverse program of music ranging from
the Italian Baroque to 20th Century Cuban repertoire. Scheduled on Oct. 21 at 7:30
p.m. in Pottle Auditorium, the free concert is part of Fanfare, the university's annual
fall celebration of the arts, humanities and social sciences.
The music will include pieces written specifically for guitar quartet and arrangements
produced by Southeastern students and faculty. Traditional Italian Baroque, passionate
Spanish Romantic, evocative French Impressionistic, and New Age-tinged Cuban masterpieces
will be performed by Southeastern music students Dustin Dawson of Robert, Blake Guidry
and West Lentz of Denham Springs, and Amon Straughter of Laplace.
"This is the fourth incarnation of the Southeastern Guitar Quartet – we also
presented the Southeastern Guitar Trio a few years back. It takes the rare combination
of talent, ensemble skills, desire, and the all-important chemistry between the players
for such a group to successfully present a full concert at such a high level of performance,"
said Patrick Kerber, instructor of guitar and coordinator of guitar activities who
has prepared the group. "This group, which has represented Southeastern at the 2013
and 2014 ULS Academic Summit Performance Showcases, has those qualities. I am certain
the audience will enjoy hearing Southeastern's latest contributions to the unique
and increasingly popular guitar quartet concert format."
From the Italian Baroque, the concert will begin with Kerber's arrangement of
Vivaldi's "Concerto in D, RV93." Faure's "Berceuse & Pas Espagnol," and Debussy's
"La Soiree danse Grenade" all arranged by former Southeastern graduate student, Thomas
Holley, will be presented, as Kerber says, as "the real thing – Spanish music written
by Frenchmen!"
Also on the program the eclectic, Paisaje Cubano con Rumba by contemporary Cuban
composer Leo Brouwer, the only work on the program written specifically for guitar
quartet, will feature "prepared" guitars. Rounding out the evening will be Granados'
romantic Tres Danzas Espanolas arranged by Southeastern alum, Shane Zeringue, and
two works by Manuel de Falla arranged by Kerber, Pantomime and the fiery Danza de
La Molinera.
For more information, call 549-2886, or email Kerber at pkerber@southeastern.edu.
'Let's Talk: Art' series continues October 22
The fall series of "Let's Talk: Art," sponsored jointly by Southeastern's Department
of Fine and Performing Arts, the Hammond Regional Arts Center (HRAC), and the Friends
of Sims Memorial Library, will continue on Wednesday, Sept. 24, at 5 p.m. at the Southeastern
Contemporary Art Gallery.
Dillon Rayborn, a senior student in art history, will speak on "Richard Serra:
The Semiotics of Space and Spirituality." This talk is a discussion of the development,
theory, and art-historical consequences of art work produced around the turn of the
21st century by New York based artist/sculptor Richard Serra.
All lectures are free and open to the public. Future talks are scheduled as follows:
Wednesday, Nov. 12: "Accalia and the Swamp Monster" by Kelli Scott Kelley, professor
in the LSU School of Art; 5 p.m., in the Hammond Regional Arts Center.
Wednesday, Nov. 19: "An Infinity of Issues: Navigating the Changing Discipline of
Art Conservation in a Global Society" by Maude Cusimano, senior student in art history;
5 p.m., Southeastern Contemporary Art Gallery.
For more information, call the library at 549-3962.
Award winning poet Hayes featured in 'Common Read' program
Terrance Hayes, author of several award-winning volumes of poetry, will visit Southeastern
Oct. 23 as part of the institution's fall Common Read program. Hayes was recently
honored with a 2014 MacArthur Foundation Fellowship – the so-called "genius" awards.
Sponsored by the Department of English and the Southeastern Writing Center, Common
Read provides students and community members the opportunity to read the works and
then meet a contemporary author.
Events that day include student presentations on the author's work at 9:30 a.m.,
an 11 a.m. question and answer session with the author, and a 6:30 p.m. public reading
by Hayes followed by a book signing and reception. All events are open to the public
and will be held in the Student Union Theatre.
In a series of "blue" poems for his collection Wind in a Box, Hayes references the standard tropes and forms of blues poetry by speaking in the
persona of such figures as Jorge Luis Borges, David Bowie and Strom Thurmond. The Blue Seuss is both a satiric embodiment of Seussian rhymes and styles and a condensed, heart-wrenching
history of the African American experience, from the Middle Passage to contemporary
urban decay.
"For several years now, we've sponsored a Common Read program, featuring a prominent,
contemporary author, and it always serves as an exciting experience for our students,"
said Department of English Head David Hanson. "By meeting and talking with an author
who they're studying in class, students gain a rare opportunity to see deeply into
an author's life of writing."
Hayes is the author of Lighthead, winner of the 2010 National Book Award for poetry and several other honors. He received
a bachelor's degree from Coker College in 1994 and an M.F.A. from the University of
Pittsburgh in 1997.
Currently a professor of writing at the University of Pittsburgh, Hayes was affiliated
with Xavier University of Louisiana and Carnegie Mellon early in his career. His additional
publications include "Muscular Music," "Hip Logic," and the forthcoming "How to Be
Drawn."
Rec Sports and Wellness news
Recreational Sports and Wellness continues its youth wellness series with "Spooktacular"
on Saturday, Oct. 25, from 12-7 p.m. in the Pennington Student Activity Center.

on Sunday, Oct. 26.

'Riders on the Orphan Train' to be presented as part of Fanfare Oct. 28
The highly acclaimed multi-media presentation "Riders on the Orphan Train," will be
presented at Southeastern in a free public showing on Tuesday, Oct. 28, at 5 p.m.
in the Teacher Education Center KIVA auditorium.
An earlier showing will be held that day for Southeastern Lab School students
and university students. The 5 p.m. public showing is limited to 300 people on a first
come, first serve basis.
The program chronicles the story between 1854 and 1929 when more than a quarter-million
orphans and unwanted children were taken from New York City and given away at train
stations across America. It is considered the beginning of the foster care system
in the United States.
The presentation is a part of the university's annual Fanfare celebration of
the arts, humanities and social sciences. It is being sponsored by the Library of
Congress, which funds the Teaching with Primary Sources Program at Southeastern, the
university's Department of Teaching and Learning, and the National Orphan Train Complex
Museum and Research Center in Concordia, Kan.
"Orphan Train" is presented by novelist and scholar Alison Moore, author of the
book "Riders on the Orphan Train." She collaborates with singer/songwriter Phil Lancaster
in the production which combines audiovisual elements, historical fiction and musical
ballads into a performance that helps bring the movement into public awareness.
"The 'Orphan Train' is a little known period of American history when the idea
was conceived to rid New York of thousands of homeless street children and provide
them with an opportunity to find new homes in the developing Midwest," explained Cindy
Elliott, head of the Department of Teaching and Learning in the College of Education.
"This story about child migration is filled with horror stories and some happy endings."
Elliott said that more than 1,900 children from the New York Foundling Hospital
were sent to Opelousas in south central Louisiana to meet new families and begin their
new lives. Members of the Louisiana Orphan Train Society are expected to be present.
For more information, contact the Department of Teaching and Learning at 549-2221.
RIDERS OF THE ORPHAN TRAIN – Homeless children from the Northeast line up in front of a railcar as they wait to be transported to find new homes in other parts of the United States. From 1854 to 1929, the so-called Orphan Train transported approximately 250,000 children from the New York to provide them new opportunities.
Southeastern Fall Carnival to include Trick or Treat with the Greeks
Area children are invited to participate in Southeastern's 10th annual Fall Carnival
Friday, Oct. 31, from 5-7 p.m.
The university's Office of Multicultural and International Student Affairs, the
Black Student Union, and Recreational Sports and Wellness are sponsoring the event
in conjunction with Trick or Treat with the Greeks, which is coordinated by the Office
of Student Engagement.
Both events are scheduled at Southeastern's North Oak Park, located at 2699 North
Oak Street and are free of charge.
"This is our annual service effort," said Eric Summers, assistant to the Vice
President for Student Affairs. "Our goal is to provide all of the typical traditions
of Halloween in a safe, carnival atmosphere."
Summers said both events provide safe alternatives to traditional neighborhood
door-to-door trick-or-treating and are free for the general public. Although children
of all ages are invited to the festivities, the event targets children in kindergarten
through fourth grade and will include games with prizes, candy, spacewalks, face painting,
and much more.
Parents and guardians are asked to accompany their children throughout the evening.
